At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +23.68% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through August 5, 2024. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations. Zacks may license the Zacks Mutual Fund rating provided herein to third parties, including but not limited to the issuer.

Momentum ETF (QMOM) Hits New 52-Week High
For investors seeking momentum, MomentumShares U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF (QMOM - Free Report) is probably on radar now. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up more than 30% from its 52-week low price of $24.73/share.
But are more gains in store for this ETF? Let’s take a quick look at the fund and the near-term outlook on it to get a better idea on where it might be headed:
QMOM in Focus
This is an actively managed ETF consisting of stocks having the highest-quality momentum. The fund has key holdings in information technology, industrials, financials and healthcare. It charges 79 basis points in annual fees (see: all the Total U.S. Market ETFs here).
Why the Move?
The momentum space of the broad equity market has been an area to watch lately given the raft of upbeat data that indicates smooth sailing for the economy. Amid such scenario, momentum investing would be a winning strategy for those seeking higher returns in a short spell. This is because the strategy looks to fetch profits from buying hot stocks that have shown an uptrend over the past few weeks or months.
More Gains Ahead?
It seems that QMOM might remain strong given a high weighted alpha of 28.40% and a low 20-day volatility of 15.36%. As a result, there is definitely still some promise for investors who want to ride on this surging ETF a little further.
